The Gerstner Exotics
These Exotic Hardwood chests are the first chests in our new Century Series Collection.
We
are pleased to offer these new chests with your choice of interior felt colors
and hardware options.
A craftsman from
Gerstner will be hand selecting all Hardwood Lumber ordered from our supplier,
to insure only the wood with the most figure in it is being used for each chest
built. Due to their custom nature
please allow up to 3 months for delivery.

Kim is the only who picks out the exotic woods. Choosing these woods before they have gone though a finish planer (which shows the grain much clearer) can be a real art form. |
Our supplier is nice enough to let Kim "cherry pick" the exotic woods from all the "best stuff" before they even offer these woods for sale to the public. |
The following 3 chests are available to order in your choice of exotic woods.
92XL
Pro Series I Chest $2700.00
41D Classic

212 Treasure

Many
people have asked about the hardness of the various species of woods shown
below.
Here is some interesting facts regarding the woods
we primarily use.
Janka
Hardness is a test which measures the pounds of force it takes to drive a
.44" diameter steel ball 1/2 its depth into wood. These numbers are
taken from various publications but principally are from the U.S. Forest
Products lab. The higher the number the harder the species.

| Moradillo | 1780 |
| Maple | 1450 |
